F rom the D esk of t he E dit or..........-Dear Readers,

Dr. M. M. Bhmagara is no more. He left for the

heavenly abode on 18-8-2008.

A Naturopath of the first order, he promoted and

propagated Naturopathy in a right manner. Naturopathy being

Holistic Science, he touched all its aspects such as physical, mental,

emotional, social & spiritual. Generally all these aspects are not

touched by Naturopaths in general.

He will always be remembered by his following slogan Health is

the first wealth. Dont lose it, if you do, regain it naturally and

spiritually.

His life and writings as well as lectures will always continue to inspire

us. The following are some of his famous books :1) Reverence for Health

2) Rationale of Exercise

3) Musings on Vipassana

4) American Health Scenario - 2003

5) The Universe within Us (Guj.)

6) The Body Speaks (Guj.)

7) The Human Body : Natures Amazing Creation

The above books will always guide us on the right path of natural

living.

A staunch Gandhian in every sense of the term, he understood

Gandhijis philosophy of Naturopathy completely.

May his soul rest in eternal peace !

With divine love...

CHANCEIf a man is alive and healthy the main reason is CHANCE.

If he is suffering from any disease at a given time, the reasonagain is CHANCE. Whereas the genes that we inherit from

our parents are the ones that basically determine everything

in life including our capacity to live a healthy and happy lifeor the capacity to suffer and die, the environment in which welive plays a significant role as well. Every gene needs aconducive environment to penetrate and produce its effect

(penetrance).Man, like other animals, has an intuition, which guides

him accurately most of the time. In the present day world of

science, reasoning and logic, intuition is suppressed andintellect is developed. Most of us believe that we live or diebecause of science, doctors and medicines. For every ailment

from common cold to cancer, we rush to medicines and costlyinvestigations.

Interestingly, many common ailments are only transitoryand the body has an excellent repair process which correctsmost derangements and resets the machine for its

complicated task.This should not belittle the massive advances made in

the field of modern medicine to make life enjoyable and tocure diseases. We must admit that most microbial diseases

can be controlled now. Some childhood cancers, Hodgkinsdisease and its related cancers can be cured. Palliative

surgical procedures are now available for most diseasesincluding spare part surgery. Notwithstanding all that, onehas to admit that doctors cure rarely, comfort mostly butconsole always. A doctor today might laugh at a doctor ofAD 1897 and say that he was a quack and did not know most

of what we know today. A doctor in 2097 AD will certainly feelthat todays doctors (1997) are only quacks. The only truth in

54

Medicine for all times is that doctors always had and willalways have identical problems to deal with viz: disability,

fear of death and anxiety.Medicine is trying to make life enjoyable and useful as

long as we live. A good look at history tells us that the onlydisease we have been able to eradicate is smallpox. This was

done by preventive vaccination and not by any greatinventions in the filed of therapeutics or surgery. Even thoughmedicine claims to have done a lot in the latter two fields ofcurative therapy the fact still remains that doctors have only

been able to palliate and not cure. There are glaring instancesof doctor or drug induced diseases which form a sizeablesegment of the sick populace today.

A glaring example is the capacity of certain measures to

postpone the onset of certain ailments or prevent suddendeath in younger population. If, as a result, the life expectancygoes up, the population is exposed to degenerative diseases

of old age like (in the west) Alzheimers disease which takesa heavy toll of manpower and money to look after theseunfortunate cripples. In short, many times the attitudes inmodern medicine seem to be shortsighted.

If one looks at the present scenario objectively, one getsconvinced that nature has good reasons to do what it seemsto do. Let us, for example, look at plague, a deadly diseasewhich literally wiped out large segments of the population in

Europe during the 17th century. The black death of Londonand the near total annihilation of the population of Veniceduring that period are examples. Plague disappeared fromEurope since the 18th century. Doctors and medicines did

not have a role in its disappearance. Nature made it impossiblefor the black rat (Rattus rattus) to survive there because oflowered temperature. The rate population of Europe now is

the white rate (Rattus novigenous), the latter has no capacityto harbour the bacilli (Pasturella pestis) causing plague.

Rejoice in your body & your sexuality.You are beauti ful Inside & Out.

Send love & Healing energy to everyone in your world.You all contribute to t he overall healt h of the planet.

Story of AIDS is going on the same lines. The suddenexplosion of the AIDS bomb is only the tip of the iceberg. The

virus has been there in Central Africa for a long time confinedmainly to monkeys. A blood sample from a patient in one ofthe large British hospitals who died of a mysteriouspneumonia in 1959 was kept frozen for future analysis. This

sample has now shown antibodies against AIDS virus. Maybe AIDS will balance the world population for sometime anddisappear like plague did from Europe in the 17th century.

World population now stands at 5.7 billion, is supposed

to grow exponentially, doubling once in 40 years. If the presentbirth rate is kept up and death rate remains static, or falls asis hoped by politicians, the world population will double by2040 AD.

As it is the total food produced in the world can feed (withdifficulty) the present population if all of us have the easternfood habits. If all of us were to eat the western type of food

and the western calorie intake, the total food produced canonly feed about 3 billion mouths, leaving half the populationstarving. The photo synthetic energy from the sun has beenused up to its maximum capacity and there is not likelihood

of our increasing the present quantum of staple food (rice,wheat) produced in the world now. This leaves nature withonly one choice. Part of the population has to be decimatedfor the world to go on. In this context the AIDS epidemic

assumes great significance. As we go on fighting bacterialdiseases, mysterious viral diseases show up.

It was in the year 1915 an American physician TheobaldSmith, took the scientific medical community by surprise,

when he propounded his hypothesis called the GrimmsLaw. The latter, for the first time, brought into focus the roleof the bodys own defence mechanism. It stated that the

severity of the disease is directly proportionate to thevirulence of the cause, but inversely proportionate to the

resistance of the host.The idea of host resistance was a new light. Medicine

was under the spell of Robert Koch who, hundred yearsearlier, had propounded his Kochs postulates stating thatdisease is due to a cause. Since the time of Theobald Smith,and in the ensuing 70 odd years, the science of immunity has

opened up new vistas in health care. Thanks to the AIDS virus,we have had phenomenal progress in the field of hostresistance in the last one decade.

The human body has its own intelligence department like

the CIA and KGB. It is always wise to get correct informationfrom these systems and act accordingly. I would like to callthis information the body language. This language has to belearnt by everyone for ones own benefit.

It is always better to respond to our body language andsee doctors only when it is absolutely necessary. Tall talkabout preventive screening of the apparently healthy

population has not been beneficial to society.Although William Cullen, a great medical nosographer,

suggested that all diseases originate in the human mindthis aspect was not studied carefully for a long time. With the

advent of the new science of molecular biology we are now ina position to study the effect of mental attitudes, likehappiness, sorrow and depression, on body functions. It isnow possible to see how the immune system (defence

mechanism) of the body is directly controlled by variouspeptide hormones secreted in response to attitude of mind.This is now proving the old Ayurvedic wisdom by modernscientific methods. Tranquility of mind, equanimity,

forgiveness and looking after the welfare of others are theingredients of happy and healthy life exhorted Sushrutathousands of years ago.

The ultimate aim is to teach us to live a happy and healthylife as long as we live and if possible, to live with and bynature avoiding as far as possible medicines and doctors.

Prof. Dr. B. M. HegdeWelcome the blissful feeling of a good nights sleep.Youll have pleasant dreams & wake up refreshed each day.

Rejoice in all the many wonderful new advances in healt h &heali ng that we humans have created.

HEALTH FOR ALLHealth is the most important special index of the quality

of life.

The greatest need of the hour is how to attain and

maintain health and prevent disease, in spite of the oddsfacing us in the exacting artificial demands and tensions

of the modern civilized life. In the industrial age in whichwe are living, it is difficult to evade a stereotyped pattern

of life which overlooks the importance of healthacquisitiveness though we know the indispensable factthat neglect of the faculty of our being brings in its trail ill-

health, disease and suffering.Health is indisputably the most valued of all possessions

a person aspires for. Although it may be neglectedunconsciously, it is an inescapable fact that wealth without

health or happiness without health is incomplete. Hencethe emphasis primarily on health even at national levels.

The state of health implies much more than freedom

from disease, and good health may be defined as theattainment and maintenance of the highest state of mentaland bodily vigour.

A healthy body is attested by its functions being carriedout without discomfort, by the capacity for exertion

appropriate to the age of the individual and without unduefatigue, and by its possessing such reserves of energy asare adequate to the ordinary emergencies of everyday life.

Thus in the healthy man or woman food is digested, bloodsent circulating throughout the body, the lungs aerated

without any of its myriad functions obtruding itself on theconsciousness. Similarly, a healthy mind is adequate tosuch work as would reasonably be expected of it.

This is about adequate functioning of the body, athing apart from prime adequate functioning. It should

be possible to live with gusto, to have an appetite for workand play which is equally keen, a generous fountain of

energy should surge up within us and the exercise of brainor muscle should be in the highest degree pleasurable.

This degree of health is seen often enough in young people,but thought it is sometimes enjoyed by their elders it isnot nearly so common as it might be. It is not sought after

by very many, because its possibility is doubted, othersare too indolent to bother about it, while some find too

many obstacles in the way.People in general give very little attention to health until

it is destroyed. Then they call in a doctor thinking their

responsibility has ended, the idea being that health anddisease are largely matters of chance and that the

responsibility rests with the doctor. This is wrong thinking.

No improvement in the health care system can beefficacious unless the individual assumes responsibility

for his own well-being. There are substantial latent gainsin health care education because those who accept

responsibility for self-care are healthier than those whoare dependent on other to detect their ill health. For theold adage prevention is better than cure to fructify, every

person would have to study the art of right living.There are doubtless many factors and reason such as

pollution, adulteration of food, facing the stress and strainof modern life which give rise to modern health problems.But these may be lessened by corrective commercial action

and by individual effort and care. Other methods of healthyliving lie in consciously-cultivated habits, which are under

individual control.

FIGHT AGAINST MICRO-ORGANISMSMicro-organisms are responsible for one-third of the

worlds diseases. While many of the method of combating

these may be allocated to the sanitary authorities, muchcan be done by individual action. The first step being to

understand the nature of such or ganisms and of the waysin which they should be eliminated.

A high degree of personal cleanliness as well as that ofthe home should be maintained, the destruction of fliesand other insect carriers of disease, vigilant protection of

food should be carried out. Food which is possibly infectedshould be sterilised, and antiseptics and disinfectants

should be intelligently used whenever and wherevernecessary. The Mosaic law of washing the hands beforetaking food is no mere ceremonial, and not only in feeding

but while handing food the hands should be cleaned.There are two sources of bacterial poisoning which are

responsible for a large number of not only minor maladiesand generally low conditions of health, but also of seriousdisease, these sources are the mouth and the bowel.

FOOD AND DIGESTIONRelated to these subjects, both as cause and effect,

are those concerning food and digestion. Because of thefact that much of the food required is exported, that such

a large proportion of the population lives in towns, wherefresh foodstuffs are difficult of access and that there is somuch refinement leading to overcooking and use of

excessive spices in the preparation of food, that it hasbecome habitual for us to take improper food. There is too

little fresh food, and especially fresh fruit, vegetables anddairy produce in the diet of many households.

In too many instances ill-health is due to insufficiency

of food. This comes about due to an unskillful choice offood, and unhealthy and unattractive methods of cooking.

There are many cheap foods which are very nutritious andwhich skill in cookery may make as appetising as more

expensive foods. A widespread knowledge of food valuesand nutritional preparation would prove invaluable in

improving the health of the masses.A common mistake among well-to-do people is to take

an excess of food. Good cooking helps the digestion offood enormously, but it may easily tempt one to eat inexcess, and when this becomes habitual it brings serious

trouble in its wake. Good and balanced nutrition is thesurest safeguard against most of the preventible diseases.

FRESH AIR AND SUNSHINEIn some quarters there is still a prejudice against the

open bedroom window, sinister properties are attributedto the night air. But nothing could be farther from the truth,as it has been proved experimentally that the night air is

freer from suspended impurities than the air during the

day. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that the chiefvirtue of fresh air is the stimulation imparted by itscirculation about our bodies, and that one feels better inpurer air which is still than in stale air which is circulating

freely. Few people seem to realize how many hours theyspend in a bedroom and how unwholesome it must be to

have the circulation of air prevented by closed windows.Draughts have a terror for many, but a free current of airover the bedclothes cannot do any harm, besides the wider

the window is open the less the drought.It ought to be commonly known that the healthy rays

of the sun do not make their way through windows madeof ordinary glass. The importance of the violet rays is acomparatively recent discovery, but the lack of exposure

to them coupled with bad ventilation in a room and notenough exercise undoubtedly explains the discounted

state of health of the sedentary worker and of the housewifewho rarely goes beyond her doorstep.

When your friends or family members are having healt h issues,be a good listener.

Provide a compassionate ear & offer advice only if asked.

IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISETo most people games are more interesting than mere

walking and they do afford better exercise, but it should not

be forgotten that before taking up a strenuous game, a

sedentary worker should make himself first of all fit by acourse of graduated gymnastics or easier kinds of outdoor

exercise. Active men or women who find that there is no timefor games should supplement outdoor walking by exercising

in their rooms for a few minutes each day, the exerciseschosen being such that bring as many muscles as possibleinto play and which move the joints as freely as possible.

For others the prescription may be different, they mayrequire more rest, and in particular a longer time in bed,

about seven or eight hours as a rule. In bed the muscles ofthe body are allowed to relax properly, for it always requires

some muscular effort to maintain even a sitting posture,the heart rate reduces and the heart gets more rest, andthe brain and other portions of the nervous system get time

for rest. To ensure a proper nights rest, strenuous mentalwork should not be engaged in just before bedtime.

It is often said that the best rest is a change of

occupation, and there is a considerable amount of truth inthis. Turning to a fresh subject of thought or a different

kind of manual occupation tends to prevent staleness andfatigue, and a large volume of work may be achieved inthis way. Hence the health value of an absorbing hobby

for the leisure hours. But discretion must be shown inpursuing such a plan in moderation, or the cumulative

effect of a variety of occupations may drain ones reservesof energy unduly.

The main clauses of the charter of health have now been

considered, and if they are understood and followed thereneed be no fussy pre-occupation about the functioning of

the body. In many respects the body can be likened to amachine. Its mechanism is intricate and delicate but it

differs from an ordinary machine in its inherent powers ofadjustment and control, in its powers of resistance to cause

of disease and its power of repair. The essentialcomponents of the body are living cells, each of whichwill put up a fight for life and comfort.

A sane balanced method of living affords thiscommonwealth of body cells the best opportunity to fulfil

their destiny. A succession of fads in the matter of dietand indiscriminate resort to drugs of one kind or anotheronly impedes and confuses the natural immune system. If

the body gets the right kind of food and a sufficiency ofoxygen, and is kept free from waste products by the regular

action of the excretory organs of the body, it is best leftalone. In exceptional circumstances a system of diet orthe action of a drug may become necessary.

HEALTH OF THE MINDMany people go through their lives dogged by the

haunting fear of this or that disease. Fear has a depressinginfluence on the body, and there are curious instances of

individuals succumbing to the very disease which theydread - That which I feared has come upon me.

The notion of hygiene of the body is familiar to most,

but few people are so alive to the necessity of the hygieneof the mind. The kind of ideas that form the content of the

mind is not a matter of indifference to the health of eithermind or body. Just as the body must be supplied withwholesome food and be purged from deleterious

substances, so must the mind be supplied with sane,healthy ideas and be cleared of such as are the opposite.

Thinking is not confined to the brain. The whole bodyparticipates in it. The mind, especially the emotions are

among the most powerful influences which affect the body.Joy, sorrow, anger, fear and other emotional states may

exalt or depress bodily functions as quickly and aspowerfully as the most potent drugs or the most active

physical agents. The relation between the body and mindis so intimate that if either gets out of order the wholesystem suffers.

There are various methods propounded for the studyof the knowledge of oneself and of the mind in relation to

health, such as Metaphysical Science, Psychology, Yoga,Philosophy, Theosophy, Occultism, Christian Science,Vegetarianism, Hypnotism, Astrology, Faith, Prayer and

Meditation, Spiritual Healing, etc. Call it by any name, healthis the result of living in accordance with the laws that

operate in the mind, emotions and sense impressions, suchknowledge helps one to reveal ones truest worth. The ideathat our own thoughts play a decisive role in health and

illness presents us with an enormous responsibility, onewhich we previously delegated entirely to physicians.

Sickness in ancient times, was largely due to ignoranceof the physical laws governing health. Hippocrates,popularly known as The Moses of medicine, in his time,

led the physician from the Egyptian darkness of magic andsuperstition into the pronounced law of rational therapy.

In the modern world, sickness is more often the resultof ignorance of the laws governing the mental, emotionaland spiritual forces operating in peoples lives. In our efforts

to conquer externals we have failed to meet the challengeof the internal existence. Prevention or the positive building

of health and mental hygiene should be the aim and objectof the Healing Arts, as positive health is the only trueprophylactic or means of immunity against disease.

RAW JUICE THERAPYJuice therapy has been approved by scientists and

government. The Public and Health Service Laboratory of the

British Health Ministry has recently published a few important

results of juice diet. The report states that the sources of the

essential amino acids, the cell building factors, are destroyed

by heat and processing and not obtained in rheumatic,

degenerative and toxic states, Juices have all-round protective

action. Good results can be obtained with large amounts upto

one litre juice daily in treatment of peptic ulceration, also in

treatment of chronic diarrhoea, colitis and toxemia of gastro

and intestinal origin.

The high buffering capacities of the juices reveal that they

are very valuable in the treatment of hyperchlorhydria. Milk

has often been used for this purpose, but cabbage juice andjuices of carrot and grapes were far superior to milk for this

purpose. 100 grams of cabbage juice added to 250 grams of

carrot juice is the best remedy for gastric and duodenal ulcers.

A cocktail prepared by mixing the juices of carrot, cabbage

and spinach work wonderfully to decrease the excessive

gastric acidity.

Some details about the juices therapy are given below. It

is necessary to select the requisite quantity of fruits and

vegetables before extracting the juice. For example, one litre

carrot juice will not be available from one kilo carrots, twokilos should be at hand before extracting juice from them.

Another important thing is that no sugar or salt should be

added to the juice. It should be taken alone.

During the juice therapy. no other food except juices

should be consumed. Complete physical and mental rest is

also a must during this period.

Make an effort to change all patterns of crit icism with respectto yourself & others. Your mind, body & soul wi ll feel t he posit iveresults.

Seek out recovery options for any unhealt hful addicti ons. Youremotional & spiritual growth moves beyond these old limitations.

WHEN NATURE WANTS A MAN!

When Nature wants to drill a man,

And thrill a man,

And skill a man.When Nature wants to mould a man

To play the noblest part,When she yearns with all her heart

To create so great and bold a man.

That all the world shall praise

Watch her method, watch her ways!

How she ruthlessly perfectsWhom she royally elects,

How she hammers him and hurts him,

And with mighty blows converts him

In to trial shapes of clay which only Nature understands.While his tortured heart is cryingand he lifts beseeching hands

How she bends but never breaks,

When his good she undertakes

How she uses whom she chooses

And with every purpose infuses him,By every art induces him

To try his splendor out

Nature knows what shes about.

When Nature wants to take a man,

And shake a man, And wake a man,When Nature wants to make a man

To do the Futures will,

When she tries with all her skill

And she yearns with all her soul

To create him large and whole.With what cunning she prepares him!

How she goads and never spares him,

How she whets him and she frets him,

And in poverty begets him.How she often disappoints

Whom she sacredly anoints,With what wisdom she will hide him,

Never minding what betide him

Though his genius sob with slighting,and his pride may not forget!

Bids him struggle harder yet.

Makes him lonely so that only

Gods high messages shall reach him,

So that she may surely teach himWhat the Hierarchy planned.

Though he may not understand

Gives him passions to command.Now remorselessly she spurs him

With terrific ardor stirs himWhen she poignantly prefers him!

When Nature wants to name a man

And fame a man

And tame a man

When Nature wants to shame a manTo do his heavenly best

When she tries the highest test

That the reckoning may bring

When she wants a god or king!How she reins him and restrains himSo his body scarce contains him

While she fires him

And inspires him!

Keeps him yearning,

Ever burning for a tantalizing goal-

Accept the challenges & responsibil it ies involved in taking careof your healt h & healing. Know that you are always supported bylife.

Release old, unproductive eating habits with love,& find more posit ive ways to fulfi ll those needs.

Lures and lacerates his soul.

Sets a challenge for his spirit,

Draws it high when hes near it.

Makes a jungle that he clear it,

Makes a desert that he fear itAnd subdue it if he can.

So doth Nature make a man.

Then to test his spirits wrath

Hurls a mountain in his path,

Puts a bitter choice before him

And relentless stands oer him.

Climb, or perish! so she says

Watch her purpose, watch her ways!

Natures plan is wondrous kind

Could we understand her mind

Fools are they who call her blind.When his feet are torn and bleeding,

Yet his spirit mounts unheeding

All his higher powers speeding,

Blazing newer paths and fine,

When the force that is divine

Leaps to challenge every failure

And his ardor still is sweet,

And love and hope are burning

In the presence of defeat.

Lo, the crisis! Lo, the shoutThat must call the leader out.

When the people need salvation

Doth he come to lead the nation.

Then doth Nature show her plan

When the world has found-a man!

The Thirty Most Common

Causes of FailureLet us turn our attention to some of the factors that cause

failure. Check the list and you will perhaps find here the causeof any failure or temporary defeat, that you may haveexperienced. The list is based upon accurate analysis of overtwenty thousand failures and it covers men and women inevery calling.1. Unfavorable hereditary foundation (This cause of failure

stands at the head of the list. Bad breeding is a handicapagainst which there is but little remedy and it is one forwhich the individual, unfortunately, is not responsible.)

2. Lack of a well-defined purpose or definite major aimtoward which to strive.

3. Lack of the ambition to aim above mediocrity.4. Insufficient education.5. Lack of self-discipline and tact, generally manifesting itself

through all sorts of excesses, especially in sexual desiresand eating.

6. Ill health, usually due to preventable causes.7. Unfavorable environment during childhood when

character was being formed resulting in vicious habits ofbody and mind.

8. Procrastination.

FAT FACTSFact-1 : 70% of advertisements - around 40,000 a year

are about FOOD.

According to Time - Ads. for high-fat, high-salt

food have more than doubled since the 1980s,

while commercials for fruits & vegetables remain

in short supply.

Fact-2 : Although 64% of Americans are obese/over weight

only 30% realize they are too heavy!

Fact-3 : 25% of all vegetables eaten in U.S.A. are French

Fries!

Fact-4 : 86% of kids who are obese, get that way before they

are 6 years.

Fact-5 : For the first time in history, there are as manyoverfed, overweight people in the world, as those

who are underfed, underweight.

These facts relate to America - where obesity rates have

doubled and the percentage of roly poly kids have tripled.

Even 25% of their pets are overweight !

In this era of globalization - can we in India, be far behind?

The real causes and their solutions all point to the same

direction :

Overeating poor quality, lifeless foods.

Mainstream diet is processed, chemically altered and

refined foods

Mindless Eating... how can food be digested. If there is

no attention.

Emotional Eating ... fear, loneliness, anxiety have become

our new companions.

MENTAL WELL BEING & POISEHealthy people are happy people and further happy are

healthier than unhappy people. It appears that happiness(which simply means having happy thoughts most of the

time) causes biochemical changes in the brain. This in turnprofoundly affects the bodys physiology. The brainchemicals, through which thoughts are working are knownas neurotransmitters. At least 30 different kinds have beenidentified in the brain tissue. The ratio of theseneurotransmitters to one another can change - accordingto the mood. Thus, in effect, to think is to practice brainchemistry. The chemistry influences hormone secretionsfrom various sites throughout the brain, such as thehypothalamus and the pituitary, and these hormones thencarry messages to distant organs in the body.

Were it possible to accurately measure all the fluctuations,stimulations, impairment and inhibitions caused by emotions/thoughts we would fully understand the role and importanceof positive thoughts - or simply, happiness and poise.Palpitations, blood pressure fluctuation, involuntary emptyingof bladder and colon, tearing of the eyes/nose, fainting,trembling , blushing, sweating are some of the evidences ofthe disturbances of organic functions that take place underemotions. These are carried out by thoughts, working throughenzymes and hormones, vis-a-vis our food and environment

Severely disturbed thought has long been linked todistortions in brain chemistry (for, there is no twisted

thought, without a twisted molecule). Likewise, happythoughts of all kinds lead to physiological changes thatlead to good health, because the neurotransmitters thatmediate them in the body have a stimulating effect.

What we are, is therefore governed by both our physicalinheritance and our mental disposition. So its our interestto choose, both our thoughts and the food we eat. Emotionaland mental stability has an important bearing upon therecovery and maintenance of good health.

Under exercising -little natural opportunity to use our

body-couch-potato is an American invention!

There are no crash-diets, no surgical procedures and

stomach stapling, no pills that can take the weight off

permanently. Cellular satisfaction i.e. harmonious metabolic

functioning can only occur with lifestyle changes.

Eating Prana (Energy) - Rich-Food is one small way to

enhance your health - instead of harming/clogging it.

Keep in touch with your Health Counsellor to keep the

weight off - permanently.


You are more than what you eat

All food that we eat must in the least, satisfy a few

conditions :

It should produce mental clarity.

It should not burden the body with toxins.

It should be digested quickly without wasting a lot of

energy.

It should not pollute or tax the earth.

Such food when eaten, provides real nourishment to the

body and heightens the amazing intelligence present in every

cell of the body. The highest quality foods are wholesome,

natural, raw foods. All nutrients are intact. The Life-Force or

Prana is present.


Rest assured that Dis-ease in yourself or others is a powerfulteacher that helps you on your pathway of greater understanding.

Vital power is the curative power.

OUR BODY IS THE ONLY REAL

INDICATOR OF HEALTHHow well we feel and how good we look are indeed

intimately connected.Our body is constantly giving US signals, in its own unique

language. Becoming Body-Aware means understanding and

decoding these Body-signs.

The signs in the questions Is this you - (on the 4th tital

page) is one such body signage system. It's the Body

Language Way of saying :

A yes to 3 or more of these indicate :

Thyroid Malfunction

Excessive Weight

Consumption of sugar, alcohol, coffee

Stressful Lifestyle

Note : The Thyroid gland is one of the master glands of

the body. It is the supreme controller of all metabolic activities

within. It regulates energy production and oxygen intake. Both

the functions determine how we feel. An exhausted,

overworked or depressed thyroid can lead to all the symptoms

above, including weight gain. The solution is not just to lose

weight , reduce consumption of wrong foods or stress, or take

medication for thyroid suppression. The solution is to Add

more Energy to the body, so that the thyroid is not forced to

overwork. This can be done through the solutions listed below. Eat whole - Eat Fresh - Eat Natural

Breathe Deeply - Breathe Consciously

Sleep when you are sleepy.

Feel alert and alive through regular exercise.

Remember : Medications complicate Health!


When you take breaks at work, walk briskly, exercise in place,meditate, or read uplifting materials, only do things that nurture you.
